On Tuesday, March 19th we welcome Stu Maddux, Director and Producer of the critically acclaimed documentary, ‘Gen Silent’ to our show.
The real life stories of Love, commitment, discernment, hope, happiness and despair told through the lens of “Gen Silent” are gut wrenching, yet important for all audiences in order to understand the plight of LGBT seniors in America. “The Generation that fought Hardest to come out, is going back in…To Survive.”
Producer/Director Stu Maddux does a splendid job in piecing together these LGBT pioneers who helped paved the way for what we know today asGay Pride.
“The filmmaking is personal, heartbreaking, and the issues are real” – Huffington Post
Through our conversation today, Stu will help us all learn how to ‘Be A Healthy Caregiver’
You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."
When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.
We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
